I love designing meaningful digital experiences. My specialties include UI/UX design, interactive prototypes, branding, illustration, advertising, and marketing.
At UCLA, in the Office of Advanced Research Computing, I lead the product and visual design of mobile and web applications, platforms, websites, and data visualization tools that are used by UCLA's academic communities and for research projects with NIH, NSF, and VA grants.
In addition, I have presented on app design and mobile research projects at numerous conferences and workshops, doing so at events such as UC Tech Conferences, the UCLA Mobile Experience Conference, the UCLA Mobility & Modern Web Conference, LAdobe User Group meetings, and UCLA Code for the Mission bootcamps.
At UCLA Extension, I enjoy teaching Illustrator I in the Design Communication Arts program. Also, I write on design and technology, including contributing the Introduction to legendary artist John Van Hamersveld's Drawing Attention book, writing the cover story for an issue of LA POP arts magazine, and contributing a total of approximately 200 graphic design and technology related articles for multiple online publications.
A graduate of Wesleyan University, I also completed the Advanced Web and Interaction Design Certificate from UCLA Extension.
I'm passionate about helping shape the future of design and look forward to connecting with you!
